“His need was to be loved, and his tragic flaw was the belief that he was unlovable.” — James Lance talking about how he played Trent Crimm & explored the character

WHERE THE FUCK IS IT????

I’ve been OBSESSED with the idea of trent having a football podcast post canon so here’s what I came up with:

trent’s a guest at a friend’s podcast to promote his book and he has fun and gets him thinking about the future

he writes pieces for some online websites and writes his own stuff for the podcast. It's something he really enjoys and allows him to have more time with his daughter

Ted never leaves for Kansas obvs (I mean, he does for the summer as he always did, but then comes back with Henry and Michelle -who broke up with the doctor guy)

Tedependent have started secretly seeing each other and don’t feel ready to go public yet. While dealing with the press for his book, Trent is working on the idea of the podcast and whenever he has some free time he writes down ideas on topics and starts writing the script for the first episode.

Ted offers to be his first guest but Trent declines and says he wants to do this on his own and that maybe in the future he will have Ted on.

the podcast is a big hit and they start doing merch (Keeley’s idea), live recorded events (interviews mostly) and what not

trent is mostly interested in telling stories rather than analysing tactics (although he does sometime do a deep dive in more technical topics)

I also came up with a mock fake website because I was bored (putting it under the cut cause it’s long)

“and so what you’re seeing is, a man- a person becoming more comfortable with who they are, knowing that they can, um, uhhh, express themselves even in a *non committal noise* you know, little way”

they/them trent crimm strikes again

SHIT I’M GOING DOWN THE JAITH RABBITHOLE AGAIN NOW I HAVE TO DO THAT PHASE WHERE I RUIN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY KLANCE AUS AND MAKE KEITH CHEAT ON LANCE WITH JAMES FOR EXTRA ANGST AGAIN

It is completely fine though. I’m fine with multishipping. a-okay.

Bro ted lasso is so insane, how is it that a show about silly goofy soccer guys that was based on a bunch of silly comedic advertisements for nbc sports in 2013-14 has me feeling like this every time I see one of the characters

[church-of-lilith]

Whatever you do don’t think about a young Trent Crimm getting sent to boarding school by his father, and then ultimately getting kicked out for being caught with another boy. Then having to come home and face his father in shame because he failed, resulting in a worse onslaught of abuse. Which then leads to him burying and repressing his feelings and his true self for so many years that he eventually becomes this cruel, calculated, cold journalist who’s willing to decimate anyone for a story.

All so he can once again come home and get a pat on the back from a father who never really loved him to begin with.

REAL AND TRUE

when Things Happen and you start to recall the shrimp emotions you unlocked on november 5th 2020

[sparrowsfallingfromthesky]

there's a line in my draft that I'm half convinced I partially plagiarized from another fic so I feel like I have to take it out but I can't fucking find where I might have gotten it so I might just be imagining things and if that's the case I don't want to change a good line for no reason 😭

What the fuck do you MEAN Ron Kamonohashi has the blood of both Sherlock Holmes and William James Moriarty.

HE'S THEIR DESCENDANT?!?

I'm sure they're gonna give us a different explanation but as far as I'm concerned, Ron is their love child and SherLiam is canon now

I need a fic where specifically the Sherlock Holmes and William Moriarty from Moriarty the Patriot are in a modern au and have to deal with raising the little shit that is Ron Kamonohashi. Dare I say detective genius dad and criminal genius dad with their detective/criminal feral child.

Edit:

No but could you IMAGINE the chaos of three eccentric geniuses in one house, we got Ron Kamonohashi in his teenage years probably absolutely hawking down a bag of black sugar syrup at top speed while William is trying to pry it out of his jaw like you do with an unruly cat that's eating something it shouldn't be, Sherlock's in the background watching this unfold like "just be glad he's not doing drugs or something" to which William would probably point out, Sherlock's smoking habit isn't any better

Meanwhile William's side of the family are arguably equally as insane as Sherlock and Liam so they're just a horde of weirdly rich crazy uncles that take Ron out on questionable adventures, Sherlock's side of the family aka John, Mary and Ms. Hudson is relatively normal in comparison but still dote on Ron - Mycroft repeatedly says that he can't believe his little brother is now responsible for taking care of a child, pretends he doesn't give a shit and yet somehow always ends up visiting his nephew.

Sherlock is still a free-lance private detective/consultant for the police force who takes cases whenever they come around, and when Ron asks him why he's usually home he jokes around that he's a kept man/housewife because William was rich when he married him, to which Liam laughs and asks if he even knows how to boil water without burning it -

It can be up to you whether or not William was or is in crime or not, I can imagine in a modern au he could've been the leader of an organized crime group for whatever reason, eventually decided to get out etc. etc.

And then Ron still meets Toto and brings home his cop boyfriend to meet his batshit crazy parents and one of them is a former CRIME LORD LMAO

Toto is able to withstand the sheer level of crazy that is Ron's family, obviously cause it's Toto

John Watson takes a liking to Toto. Gee I wonder why, it couldn't be because he sympathizes with being the detective partner of an eccentric genius could it

I literally thought Trent was gonna kiss Ted in that one scene
